Burg Werdenstein stands in Immenstadt im Allgäu (Landkreis Oberallgäu), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Burg Werdenstein is a ruined stronghold set on a sandstone hill above the Iller valley near Immenstadt im Allgäu. It was once the ancestral seat of the von Werdenstein family, first recorded in 1239, but lost most of its walls over the centuries, first through pillaging and later through use as a stone quarry in the 19th century. Only the gatehouse tower, roughly six metres tall, has survived and was restored in the late 20th century. The grounds, now largely home to an open-air café, can be visited freely.

What to know

  • Access to the ruined site is free and not tied to fixed opening hours.
  • Only the gatehouse tower still stands; other remains are limited to a few foundation traces.
  • Part of the grounds, around the former keep (bergfried), is fenced off and cannot be entered.
  • The site today hosts an open-air café set in the former farm courtyard of the castle.
  • No information is available regarding an entry fee or a recommended visit duration.
